What are your guys opinions on the BEST cable modem out there?

The First cable modem i ever had was a Dossis 2.0 i believe and it was a toshiba modem AND IT WAS EXCELLENT!!!!!

If the cable network i am on WAS BETTER QUALITY,it would have rocked!! (The modem kept locking up due to bad network levels causing the modems transmit to be TOO HIGH thus causing it to lose sync)

The modem i have now is an SMC router and compared to that toshiba,ITS A PIECE OF GARBAGE!!

When i first got it i could not set my own DNS settings,it wouldnt use them!! (It was like they were trying to force ppl to use thier DNS servers)

My invalid URL entries,etc were being redirected to www.wsearch.com or something like that.. (Yes - DNS HIJACKING) and it was a pain in the you know what to clear that!! (I reset the modem 2 times and it finally started using the DNS servers i put in) Its a bit slower than the toshiba was. (I noticed that straight away)

My father has a LINKSYS router upstairs which also keeps locking up and i wonder if the network levels are also responsible for that also...... (I wouldnt doubt it seeing how bad this network is alot of times!)
